<p>Sure. If there's a nomination tag.  I would also like it written down somewhere how to do so, so it's also not just tribal knowledge. Although I don't really know where that place would be? If nowhere currently, then perhaps processes like this could be part of the lang team charter?</p>

<p>(Just noticed this comment; somehow glossed over it earlier) It's more often the pull requests from people I've not seen before giving information on a topic I'm not well versed in, or even my own writing when I'm not sure whether something is stable or not. The issues are usually fine; those tend to have more editorial questions than questions about how the language works.</p>

<p>That seems like a whole 'nother can of worms. I'm curious as to what they are, but not in a constructive way. Probably worth opening a new zulip topic or bringing it up in a meeting. Unless you want to have that discussion beforehand;</p>

<p>Also, thinking a bit more about this, I'm not sure the nomination tag would actually be the best. Some of it is just questions of facts that have already been decided, and having everybody discuss it in a meeting would be a bad use of time.</p>

<p>We're doing pretriage a bit before meetings, so it's quite possible to move from nomination to FCP (or merging) without discussion. I wouldn't worry about that too much I think</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="296643">@isHavvy</span> so the current process is basically "somebody adds the I-nominated label" and that's it :) what I would like is a few things, but one of them is that by the time we get to the meeting, we have already done some 'pre-triage" and we know (a) what question are we trying to answer and (b) the background information we need to answer it is ideally available.</p>

<p>and part of it might be an async pre-triage effort (sort of like <a class="stream" data-stream-id="227806" href="/#narrow/stream/227806-t-compiler.2Fwg-prioritization">#t-compiler/wg-prioritization</a> that notices nominations and "asks the obvious questions" and/or redirects to a smaller group if that's appropriate</p>
